The playlist order <em>always<\/em> gets garbled into 4, 1, 3, 2 etc.  There&#8217;s <em>still<\/em> no way to re-order the list by File Name.  Windows Media Player and other players never have any such problem. Even in version 3.0 of VLC there\u2019s still no way to then re-order the list by File Name. You can re-sort the list every other way, but not by file-name order&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/dazposer\/oldimages\/2018-03-27_003617.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/dazposer\/oldimages\/2018-03-27_003617.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"323\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9052\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Windows Media Player has no such problem. Regrettably you can&#8217;t save a properly-ordered Windows Media Player list as .M3U and then load it to VLC. <\/p>\n<p>VLC <em>claims<\/em> to understand Windows&#8217; own .WPL and .M3U, but in practice it doesn&#8217;t. Load a .M3U and it goes haywire in a never-ending loading loop. Load a .WPL and you only get the first track on the list. Load an .ASX in VLC and while the playlist is intact and in the correct order, you&#8217;ll see certain files in the album &#8216;greyed out&#8217;. Save that list as a VLC native .XSPF, load that it back into VLC and VLC one again goes haywire in a never-ending loading loop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The popular free VLC media player is now at version 3.0.
